The Strength of God
“A promise, an encouragement and a rock on my journey of consecrated life”
“How can I repay the Lord for all the good he has done for me?”
I give thanks to the Lord for the 12 September 2026 that he has brought into my life. I bless him for showing me the way and quenching this deep thirst within me, the sequela Christi in the way of Mary.
I felt an immense and inexpressible joy at my first “yes”, in giving my life to the Lord. I felt an unshakeable love with which the Father has loved me, because he has looked upon me with tenderness. I recognise that it is not through my own strength, but through the strength of God who strengthens me, hence my motto: “I can do all things through him who strengthens me” (Phil 4:13).
The strength of God is for me a promise, an encouragement and a rock that remind me that my human strength is limited before the greatness and beauty of consecrated life. I ask God for one thing: to help me live consecrated life fully, with the Marist colour.
